(HBO) - In 2019, districts and cities completed the evaluation and grading of the One Commune Once Product (OCOP) programme at the district level for 50 products.

Hanoi consumers are choosing safe vegetable products of the Quyet Chien safe vegetable production cooperative in Tan Lac district.

As a result, 37 products (obtaining 50 points and above) have been submitted by the People's Committees of districts and cities for the evaluation and ranking at the provincial-level.

By the end of 2019, the province had nine products rated four stars and 18 others rated three stars.

After one year of the implementation, the programme has recorded positive results. The number of cooperatives has rapidly increased, especially production cooperatives in rural areas. Innovation and start-up movements in agriculture production in rural areas have been promoted.

Agricultural products have been diversified, initially becoming commodities. Some branded products and those with geographical indication (GI) are popular to consumers in and outside the province.

In recent times, many conferences have been organised to promote consumption of OCOP products, significantly contributing to improving the value of agriculture production. 

Memoranda of understanding on cooperation were signed between distributors and supermarket systems with local farmers and cooperatives, aiming to provide OCOP products in distribution systems nationwide. 

Connection between local cooperatives and enterprises has helped promote production and business of traditional products and services of Hoa Binh, and improve the competitiveness of local products in domestic and foreign markets. 

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Dung said through the OCOP programme, the locality’s agriculture sector has been promoted. 

Local farmers have been encouraged to change the structure of plants, select suitable plant varieties, expand cultivation areas, increase productivity and improve the quality of their products, and form concentrated commodity production areas.

To expand markets for OCOP products, specialties and potential products of Hoa Binh, in the coming time, the province will enhance communication campaigns and focus on building brands for products and developing trade villages. 

Conferences to connect local farmers with businesses continue to be organised, thus further promoting sales of OCOP products in distribution systems across the country./.
